use M1V1 = M2V2, keeping in mind that V2 must include the 2.4 L of water as well as the original 0.6 L of solute. M2 = (M1V1) / V2 = (0.6 L × 1.5 M) / 3 L = 0.30 M.

Molarity is measured in moles of solute per liter of solution, so we first must find the moles of ammonium hydroxide present. 17.5 g NH4OH × (1 mol NH4OH / 35 g) = 0.5 mol NH4OH. Now, we can easily find the solution’s molarity by taking 0.5 mol NH4OH / 0.25 L solution, or 2.0 M.

In an isolated system, entropy is maximized when:
I. the system is at equilibrium.
II. the system is far from equilibrium.
III. the system is unable to perform work.
I and III. Recall that at equilibrium, ∆G = 0. With no free energy change, the system is unable to perform work (eliminate answer choices A and B). At equilibrium, there are no energy gradients within the isolated system, so energy is maximally dispersed, resulting in maximal entropy (eliminate choice D).
II: A system that is far from equilibrium contains large energy gradients which are able to perform work. The formation of large energy gradients requires localization or concentration of energy, which results in decreased entropy.

125
An object floats in water with 4/5 of its volume submerged. If the object is then placed in a type of oil with a density half that of water, which of the following is true about the object placed in the oil?
Vfluid / Vobj = ρ obj / ρ fluid , where V fluid is the volume of displaced fluid (here, it's water).
V fluid / V obj = 4/5, so ρ obj / ρwater = 4/5.
The question tells us that ρwater = 2ρoil. This means that 4/5 = ρobj / 2ρoil .
Therefore, ρobj / ρoil = 8/5. Since the ratio of densities is larger than 1, we know that the object is more dense than oil, and it will sink to the bottom.

130
If a high school athlete throws an average pitch of 30 m/s from the mound completely horizontally, and it leaves his arms 2 meters above the ground, how high will the ball be when it crosses home plate, which is 18 m away from the mound?
Δy = ½ (-10 m/s2)(t2)
Unfortunately, we do not know the time, but we can solve fairly easily using the formula Δx = vxt. (This simple formula works because the ball does not experience acceleration in the horizontal direction.) We must rearrange to get t = Δx/v x, or t = (18 m) / (30 m/s) = 3/5 s = 0.6 seconds.
Plugging into the first equation yields Δy = ½ (-10)(0.6)2 = -1.8 m. Thus, the ball will end up exactly 2 - 1.8 = 0.2 m above the ground.

the blood-brain barrier prevents molecules from easily entering the central nervous system unless they are able to pass through the lipophilic plasma membranes of the cells making up the barrier. Which of the following is most likely to be true?

5 x 1.6 = 8 g
